Dear Cox,

I realize that you guys make money on professional installation, but just because I don't need someone to come in and plug the coax into the modem and the modem into the computer doesn't mean you can screw with my service and not turn it on properly so you can charge me for a "professional install" because "self-installations are not guaranteed to work". This is the second time your tech has not turned on the service properly and the second time I have had to argue with you to get the service I am paying for. Rest assured, I am looking into alternatives to dealing with the lack of service you provide.

Dear Technical Support Guy,

It was NOT user error.

Dear drivers,

Thank you to those who gave me lots of room the last couple of nights when I've been on my bicycle. You'll notice Flynn Road has no shoulder, so thank you for using the left hand lane.

But- to the jackhole tonight on my way home from school who thought you had enough room to sqquueeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeze past me:

Dude, you didn't. If you would have waited just a second or two, the oncoming lane would have been clear, and you could have done it safely. I get three feet of space, ok? Thanks. Next time be a touch more patient and don't endanger me again.

Ever think of taking a prat fall to teach them a lesson?

(nah, probably not a good idea to do in the street... but it makes a nice mental image)

The other night I dreamed a semi-truck was passing me, and had to swerve to avoid me as I got sucked under the wheels. Kind of freaky, really, because those trucks really do about suck me under sometimes if they're going fast or it's narrow.

What we have thought of doing is strapping a ski pole to the back end of the bike. Point towards the cars. While the segment of rude people don't mind crushing me, they will mind scratching their car. Most days I don't feel it's necessary, but every so often I get a real idiot and I think about it again.

I'm not a cyclist, but I can well imagine the vortex that a semi kicks out toward one. My little Civic gets buffeted around whenever a large truck passes me- can get a bit hairy when the roads are icy. Take care out there, ABG!

[alphabassettgrrl]

I'm always careful- I've seen too many crazy and/or stupid people on the roads. I don't give people much of a chance to hit me.

Thanks for thinking about me!
**hugs**

dear evening daylight,

why must you leave? Ive become so used to your loving caress in my after work hours that I simply hate to see you, yet again, slowly slipping away. this saddens me. I fear soon you'll leave altogether and I'll be forced to use artificial means to complete my tasks or worse, discontinue the projects until the rare air of 'the weekend' comes crawling its way back again.

its just not the same.

I will miss you

Dear Alphabassettgrrl:

On the bright side, at least you did not get arrested for getting hit by a car.
